GENETICSSTUDENT OBJECTIVES FOR Alabama Course of Study #7:(CHAPTER 8)
I can apply Mendel’s law to determine phenotypic and genotypic probabilities of offspring.
I can define important genetic terms, including dihybrid cross, monohybrid cross, phenotype, genotype, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant trait, recessive trait, incomplete dominance, codominance, and allele
I can recognize dominant and recessive alleles and their roles in determining the phenotypes of offspring.
I can compare the terms heterozygous and homozygous, and demonstrate and understanding of how these terms relate to the phenotypes and genotypes of offspring.
I can interpret inheritance patterns shown in graphs and char (punnett squares and pedigrees)
I can calculate genotypic and phenotypic percentages and ratios using a Punnett square.
Double click to watch a simple intro on alleles, working out monohybrid crosses, and calculating genotypic and phenotypic percentage of offspring from any given cross.
